I question the old assumption that Quatre Saisons was the seed parent. The Mackie catalog for 1812, for example, listed other possibilities:
Four Seasons Paestana Portland Monthly Red Monthly Red Cluster Monthly White Monthly Blush Monthly Striped
They also listed several China roses: China Single Red — Double Red — Double Crimson — Double Marbled — Single Blush — Double Blush — Small Double Blush

HelpMeFind has ‘Stanwell Perpetual’ shown as a cluster-flowered. I am not so sure this is strictly correct. It seems to produce a bloom very quickly after the one before, but emanating from just below the older bloom. Marnix’ photo Kropswolde, Netherlands 25 May 2010 shows a bud, with new growth emanating just below as in my photo.

Hello Jay-Jay. But looking further, there are two photos which might be called a cluster: Koala 13 07 2011 Lithuania. and Jack L uploaded 6 Sep 09. I guess that in order to have such a phenomenal repeat as it does, it has to be, strictly speaking, single flowered.

I dare to disagree, only on that of Jack L, one might see two flowers on one stem, but not completely clear. Every single flower seems to come from one newly grown (the same years') twig. And than following up or almost at the same time from the bud below.

Would Stanwell Perpetual be better in the sun (maximum summer air temperature about 28°C) or in the shade? Thanks!!

I have grown this rose in a part-sun garden in Lincoln, NE (a hot humid climate that is zone 5/6). There are fifty year old trees throughout my 2/3 acre garden. It is a stretch to say that any of my roses get the required 6 - 8 hours of sunlight. The plant was disease-free and was almost always in bloom. The blooms were gorgeous. It was not a cutting rose so I am not growing it currently. I am keeping it on my list for future use as a landscape rose when space becomes available. I envision it planted on 18" centers in a circular bed all of its own. It would spill over the sides and look like a giant flower pot. Karen

I know this is an old comment, but I have a very similar situation and was debating whether or not to try this rose. I'm in northern Missouri, so your experience is really helpful! I think I will be giving 'Stanwell Perpetual' a try now!
